Gerry Adams's brother is due to appear in court charged with child sex offences against his daughter.

Liam Adams was extradited from the Irish Republic to Northern Ireland on Wednesday night and arrested on 18 warrants, including charges of rape, gross indecency and indecent assault. They all relate to the alleged abuse of his daughter Aine Tyrell, who has waived her right to anonymity. He denies abusing her.

The allegations were first reported when Tyrell took part in a television documentary in 2009.

Adams, 56, handed himself in to police in Dublin last year after a European arrest warrant was issued by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Last month he was refused permission to appeal against his extradition from the republic, where he has been living.
